Can you cite a source to this? I know that with the new CPA with CAL at the rates XJT was forced to accept due to attempted SKW buyout, it is at a loss at current aircraft utilization, it is at a loss.
As for doing flying at a loss because of parked airplanes, isn't that the same reason why SKW got a deal with UAL to fly 13 out of 20 parked airplanes?
